المَزامِير 82

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ. اللهُ يَتَرَأَّسُ سَاحَةَ قَضَائِهِ، وَعَلَى القُضَاةِ يُصْدِرُ حُكْماً.

A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.

٢ 2 حَتَّى مَتَى تَقْضُونَ بِالظُّلْمِ وَتَنْحَازُونَ إِلَى الأَشْرَارِ؟

How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?

٣ 3 احْكُمُوا لِلذَّلِيلِ وَالْيَتِيمِ. وَأَنْصِفُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْبَائِسَ.

Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.

٤ 4 أَنْقِذُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْفَقِيرَ؛ أَنْقِذُوهُمَا مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الأَشْرَارِ.

Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.

٥ 5 هُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ، يَتَمَشَّوْنَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ أُسُسُ الأَرْضِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْجَوْرِ.

They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.

٦ 6 أَنَا قُلْتُ: «إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ، وَجَمِيعَكُمْ بَنُو الْعَلِيِّ.

I said: You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High.

٧ 7 لَكِنَّكُمْ سَتَمُوتُونَ كَالْبَشَرِ، وَتَنْتَهِي حَيَاتُكُمْ مِثْلَ كُلِّ الرُّؤَسَاءِ».

But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.

٨ 8 قُمْ يَا اللهُ قُمْ. دِنِ الأَرْضَ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُ الأُمَمَ بِأَسْرِهَا.

Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.
